When troubled singer Chris Brown hurled a rock through his mother’s car window earlier this week he didn’t care if the rock injured her or caused her to lose control of her car. Brown was outraged because his mom, Joyce Hawkins, suggested that he remain in treatment at a rehab center.

This is not the first time Brown has lashed out at his own mother. Industry insiders have whispered about Brown abusing his own mother for years.

Brown’s violent behavior stems from his anger and rage toward her for not protecting him from his violent father as a boy. In an interview with MTV’s Sway, Brown recalled watching his mother suffer abuse at the hands of his father. He told Sway that watching the abuse heaped upon his mother was “an influence in me about how to treat a woman.”

“I used to always feel the hate for anybody that disrespected a lady. Or called a lady the B-word … or just disrespected her.”

But the family history of abuse had the opposite affect on young Chris.

President Obama’s youngest daughter Sasha Obama, 12, sparked a buying frenzy on the ASOS website when she wore a ASOS unicorn sweater during a basketball game in Maryland on Sunday. The sweater sold out within minutes. And as of today (Friday) the item is still sold out.

‘Scandal’ fan Gabrielle Union posted this photo of herself and NBA star Dwyane Wade on her Instagram page yesterday. She wrote in the caption: “Best part of date night … Racing home to watch #Scandal #Gladiatorsstandup #MamaPopeLives #HesSeriousAboutHisScandalTime” Wade is a good man. Men don’t like being rushed through dinner so their fiancées can get home to watch a TV show.

Socialite Lala Anthony visited her bestie, Kim Kardashian today at Kanye West’s home in the SoHo section of New York City. LaLa was last seen dropping off “gifts” for Kim’s baby daughter, North West, and it isn’t even the child’s birthday. LaLa returned again today because Kanye’s brownstone is where most of the city’s paparazzi are camped out. We know how much LaLa loves attention.Photo: Elder Ordonez/INFphoto.com

On Wednesday a Los Angeles judge ordered troubled singer Chris Brown back into rehab for 3 months after court documents revealed he threw a rock through his mother’s car window.

A report from the unnamed rehab facility in Malibu, Calif., disclosed that Brown became outraged during an anger management session with his mother, Joyce Hawkins, who suggested that he remain in rehab a little longer.

Brown, 24, followed his mother out of the facility, picked up a rock and threw it through her window as she drove away from the facility. Brown was kicked out of the facility earlier this week for violating a rule prohibiting him from displaying violent behavior.

Singer Ciara is totally head over heels in Love with her baby daddy, rapper Future Hendrix. Ciara took to her Instagram account yesterday to express just how much she Loves her man. I wrote a long post about the effects of Dopamine and other brain chemicals on relationships. But I will hold off on sharing that post with my readers until after Future dumps Ciara.

A loyal reader wondered what socialite Kim Kardashian wore to Jay Z’s party last night. According to Kim, she rocked a pair of Saint Laurent distressed jeans with chain detail. The shredded, tattered and torn, Saint Laurent’s skinny jeans are layered with chain embellishments that add to its punk-chic vibe, according to fashion designer Riccardo Tisci’s blog. The jeans retail for $1,500. But if you can’t splurge a car note on a pair of jeans that look like they belong in a dumpster, you can purchase the cheaper version (without the chains) for $675 here.

How do you earn the highest civilian award offered by the White House? Just accuse all white Americans of being racists.

Critics are saying it’s no coincidence that President Obama honored Oprah with the Presidential Medal of Freedom just days after she accused white Americans of disrespecting Obama because he is half black.

It took 5 years for President Obama to honor Oprah with any type of award after she threw her powerful support behind him during the 2008 presidential elections.

Thanks to loyal reader and fashionista Pamela Andrade for informing me that Jay Z was wearing a Sidian, Ersatz & Vanes Chambray color block button down shirt — not a Celine shirt as I incorrectly stated in this post.

Undaunted by the embarrassing fact that Barney’s NY canceled a huge private bash celebrating the launch of his collection, rap mogul Jay Z threw his own star-studded celebration at the Barclay’s Center last night.
